From what I understand, the shrimp-like krill are usually found in large
swarms and feed on algae (as on the boat bottom), so that although they are
very small, thousands of them nibbling can make quite an odd noise when
heard from inside the boat. I have only ever heard them in the warmer
climes.

noise. The first time around it puzzled and worried him. I don't remember
exactly what he called them but I think it was some type of small "shrimp"
or similar critter. He confirmed that it was marine life, not fiberglass
toredos, and has since learned to ignore them.
